Which top ranked woman UFC BW can take a clean Cyborg punch: Tate, Holm, Rousey?

[OliverAtom]

Anyone with a penis.

 

[Combat Wombatt]

Anyone with a penis.

Good she's not fighting men, then.

Well, at least Cyborg won't be punching herself out then.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

None of them probably. they will just drop after the first sloppy barrage from Cyborg. Holm might do a little better though. Tate and Ronda would just collapse.

 

[jeremyemilio]

A lot.

Cyborg overwhelms her opponents and beats them down with multiple shots for the inevitable TKO.

85% of Ronda's finishes are by sub, and she still has more clean KO finishes in her MMA career than Cyborg does.

 

[BigMuffler]

Holm took a lot of shots from Mathis who was considered one of the hardest hitting female boxers before being KOed.

Tate is known for being durable.

Ronda ran into a lot of Holm punches multiplying the force before being knocked out.

All of the above plus Cat and others, look at how long Coenen and Akano lasted. Porto and Takahashi even went to decision albeit long ago.

 

[Dirge]

Tate is the toughest of the 3. She can take a hellacious beating and keep fighting. Not saying she would win but if she could survive the early rounds and tire Cyborg out she would have a decent chance of beating her. Rousey's standup is terrible, Cyborg is also stronger and would be tough to take down. Holm has better technique but a lot less power and aggression.

Cardio and the ability to survive an early blitz is the key

 

[Jon Lock]

None of the above.

 

[legkicktko]

Its not really about who's chin can take it per say, but more who is going to be in the least damaging position.

By that standard, you have to go with Holly or the Tate we saw in her last fight (who never rushed in, was constantly on the elusive).

Ronda charges, and the only way she wins the fight is clinching and throwing you to the ground. That is tailor made for Cyborg to catch her coming in. So its not that her chin is bad, its that her style and lack of footwork compromises her.

By the logic prevalent in this thread nobody should be able to take Thatch's shots either since he blew through low level WWs so easily with his power and aggression.

Level of skill is important to roll with punches and avoid them and it helps to not get hit.

But these fighters will hit and get hit and level of skill doesn't improve their chins.

 

[The guest]

I have no idea. But I'd be hoping any opponent she has would try to avoid it.

Even if Ronda played it smart and didn't in, a combo from Cyborg would most likely put her on her ass.

All of them. Threads like these make me wonder if people actually watch Cyborgs fights.

She rarely drops girls with one shot, much more common is that she overwhelms undersized and under skilled opponents and they crumble. Jan Finney and Gina Carano both took tons of Cyborgs shots.

You didn't even read the first paragraph of the OP.

She doesn't have 1 punch KO power (very few women fighters do), but her strikes are powerful enough to nearly knock her opponent unconscious and the GnP TKO is not far away.

 

[StoneWT]

Not Ronda. In trying to say she fooled Holm, she said she was rocked bad toward the beginning of the fight. Cyborg probably hits +25% harder than Holm.

 

[Supernaut]

None.

 

[maddog7]

Anyone with a penis.

Holm?

 

[bigbangspiritbomb]

Stopped reading at, Rhonda tagged/hurt Holly.

Laughed real hard though

 

[mudrubble]

Ronda. With one hand tied behind her back. She's just that good.
